Asus BW-16D1HT stopped working

I had a drive burn out, so ebay'ed a replacement internal BW-16D1HT very recently. I am positive I confirmed it would read UHD.
I did an install of a new M2 boot drive and fresh windows install. On first boot my computer went into a loop beeping and my drive clicking. With a fresh power cycle, everything seemed OK but now I can't read UHD discs.

Should I flash to 3.10 firmware? Is there an alternate path to enable Libredrive?
